Play APE files on Mac with high sound quality

Elmedia

APE is the file extension for Monkey's Audio - an algorithm and file format for lossless audio compression. This means that no quality is lost when an audio file is converted to this format. Monkey's Audio's has a better compression rate compared to FLAC and WavPack. Often Audio CD albums are encoded to APE for backup purposes or for convenience. The advantages of APE format is its effective compression ratio, fault tolerance, and multithreading/multicore support.
